T-Mobile Galaxy S2 software update available through Kies

For those of you still making use of a T-Mobile Galaxy S 2, it's time to grab your USB cable and fire up Kies as a new update has now been made available for your device. The change log is short and sweet but it certainly is interesting:

Version

Android version 4.0.3/ Software version T989UVLH1

Manual Update ONLY (Size varies based on previous software version)

Approved 8/14/12

Improvements

ISIS/NFC update

Bug fixes

Bug fixes are expected but the inclusion of "ISIS/NFC" is the highlight there. As we know it, T-Mobile is a part of the NFC mobile payment group but until now they've not put out any sort of information when ISIS would become active on T-Mobile devices.

At this point, it's hard to even know what they mean when they say ISIS support is included so if you managed to get the download installed, let us know in the comments or drop by the Android Central forums and share your findings.

I have never had to pay to use my mobile hotspot app. I tether my nexus 7 to it all the time with no extra fees. I do pay for the max 4g data they offer though, 5GB per month. Plus they are about to switch everyone over to true unlimited data for $20.00 a month, if they charge me a small fee ( we will say $10.00) per month for the mobile hotspot I would still be paying the same as I am now ($30.00/month for data) but with TRULY unlimited 4G, I am good either way.

Kies keeps randomly crashing, updated to the latest, still crashes. "Kies has stopped working". Only way I can get it to run is keep hitting run as administrator over and over until the Kies logo comes up. Got to the firmware downloading part and it crashed again. Now when I retry it simply says "Unable to load Firmware because of an unknown error" or something to that affect.
